Renal Oxygenation Measurement During Partial Nephrectomy Using Hyperspectral Imaging May Predict Acute Postoperative Renal Function

Abstract

Baseline renal oxygenation, as measured with HsI, may help predict risk of postoperative renal insufficiency and may distinguish between patients with otherwise similar baseline characteristics, such as eGFR. HsI may provide individualized assessment of renal function to influence intraoperative decision-making to help preserve renal function.
